EQUINE & LAND LAW

My law office focuses on issues of land and horses. Dispute resolution short of litigation is always the first track to pursue. I am well aware of the costs of litigation, and work hard to reach reasonable settlements.

As a horse owner for more than 40 years, I have the real life experience to identify key issues, and approaches to resolving them -preferrably without litigation.

As a land use attorney, I am particularly familiar with the issues that owners of equine property encounter - farm management, building requirements, environmental issues. I have over 30 years experience as a local government employee in the drafting and administration of code requirements related to the use of land. I understand the policy thinking behind code provisions, and how to interpret them.

Practice is limited to Washington state at this time. I am also available to associate with other counsel to resolve your land and equine issues, act as an expert witness, or act as an arbitrator.
